Michael Jackson Enlists Kanye West For New Album

Michael Jackson has enlisted the help Kanye West, will.i.am and Ne-Yo on his brand new album, due for release in 2008.

Kanye revealed to The Sun newspaper that he is working with Michael Jackson on material for Jacko's new album, his first new material since 2001's Invincible album.

In his newsletter to fans, legendary Thriller singer Michael Jackson revealed that he is about to announce some exciting news, sparking rumours that some new material may be ready for release.

"If I like a person's outlet or what a person brings to the table, then I'll speak to them," Kanye told the tabloid.

While will.i.am reportedly thought the call from Michael was a prank call at first.

He told Archa Sawjani in a recent interview, "Ok so he called me on the phone, out of the blue and I didn't believe it was him. I was like come on who is this, how did you get my number? Stop playing around."

"So he was like 'No it's really me, it's Michael.' And I still didn't believe it was him and was like 'Dude seriously I got to go'."

With help from some of the best producers and artists in the world, the legendary pop singer is bound to deliver.
